Reply #16: our universities must stop broadcasting sports on global warming denying RW radio stations

[certainot]

the RW radio monopoly and its unchallenged think tank coordinated repetition keeps the deniers in denial.

RW radio stations depend on university and pro sports for community standing, to bring in advertisers, and legitimize their denial. 15 of 16 universities in last year's NCAA final 16 basketbal tournament broadcast on limbaugh radio stations. those stations are licensed to operate in the public interest but all RW radio stations do GW denial as a rule.

it reaches 50 mil a week and enables and intimidates politicians and media to continue the denial. it has been a major factor in obstructing climate action in the US in the last 20 years. petro think tanks constantly provide guests and phony studies for the local and national talkers to blast all over the country, like free political advertising.

students and faculty need to get on this problem with petitions and protests. universities broadcasting on those stations are basically requiring their students to listen to the games broadcast from those partisan, global warming denying, racist, sexist radio stations. no university mission statement can possibly be consistent with such an association, especially with the racism and sexism also. some of the associations may date back before the stations went to right wing talk. those contracts need to be negated and the universities need to find alternatives. they have no excuses consistent with their mission statements.

the argument that RW talk radio just free speech from political entertainers fulfilling a community need and an expression of the market for right wing perspective is ridiculous. it is a protected monopoly and the national talkers especially insulate themselves from criticism with sophisticated call screening software that also allows them to put paid callers at the top of the line.
